April 8 – May 29

Since its dedication in 1986, The Bates College Museum of Art has maintained a special relationship with the college’s Art Department. Part of this is a commitment to supporting the work of Bates students through our annual Senior Exhibition. The exhibition highlights work selected from the thesis projects of graduating seniors majoring in Studio Art.

Thesis projects vary from student to student, each pursuing an individual interest. The emphasis of the program is to create a cohesive body of related works through sustained studio practice and critical inquiry. The year-long process is overseen by Art faculty, and culminates in this exhibition.

Elizabeth J. Brin, Ryan P. Heffernan, Rachel A. Starr, Tiffany N. Tropino.

Bates grad M. Darsie Alexander ’88, Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs at the  Baltimore Museum of Art, will present a lecture preceding the opening entitled “Leap into the Void: A Career with Art and Artists.” The Bates Alums in the Arts series is sponsored by the Friends of the Museum.
